Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. Heinen's CARE Certified filet mignon

Instructions
For the Filet Mignon
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F, or 440˚F if using a convection oven.

- Pat the filet mignon dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add olive oil to a pan over high heat. Place the filet mignon in the hot pan and sear each side for 2-3 minutes to lock in the moisture.

For the Creamy Horseradish Sauce
- Combine the Smith’s old fashioned sour cream, prepared horseradish, tarragon, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and set aside.
For the Crostini
- Reduce the oven temperature to 425˚F.
- Cut the French baguette into 16-20 slices.
- Brush olive oil on both sides of each slice.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until your desired crispiness is achieved.
- Cool on a wire rack.
To Assemble
- Place a few pieces of arugula on each toasted bread slice.
- Add a slice of filet mignon, a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce and a garnish of capers.
- Serve warm or cold.
